Hello! My name is Michelle and I’ve been telling stories through photos professionally for over ten years, after completing a Bachelor of Photography in 2012 at the QLD College of Art (Griffith University).

“To take a photograph is to participate in another person’s (or thing’s) mortality, vulnerability, mutability… All photographs testify to time’s relentless melt.” -Susan Sontag

All we have for living is this moment; the here and now. My passion is to document people as they are- the beauty & the mess, and all that lies between them in the ‘melt’.

I love the way the world looks at sunrise/sunset and how the sun feels on the skin, like a warm cup of tea in your hands. Meeting people and hearing their stories lights my heart up, not only their successes but their vulnerabilities, the things we share in our human experience.

I love looking at the old portraits of my family, now on display at my parent's house. The warmth of that time, and innocence- the pink & blue hue of the tulle skirt my 6-year-old self was wearing that day. Time has marched on since that day, but those particular photos are a marker in our family’s story, they conjure memories of not just that specific day, but memories around it. I am thankful they exist- they’re priceless.

The outcome of a photo shoot is really a collaboration between you & me. It’s a mixture of our combined passion & ideas.

I would love to meet you and chat about how I can create something wonderful for you!

Michelle xo
